Thank you to everyone for your kind words about the interview with Russell! He’s not only a multitalented performer, but was also so much fun to interview & a genuinely nice guy!

And, yes, I guess the JBB Tech Half has been quiet up until now, hasn’t he?! Maybe it’s time that he started his own group?! Or, we’ll keep performing together and work on our “moves,” Howard!

Can’t wait to hear about Russell’s “Uncharted” show!!

Great interview. My, how time flies; I remember like yesterday when it was mentioned that Russell ‘signed’ on his 22nd birthday. He seemed to fit into the JB cast family quickly and slipped right in to greeting fans warmly at the door.

This interview really got me thinking about the extent to which these actors change characters so often throughout the show. Not being a theater virtuoso, I wonder how common is this on Bway?

On to the Interviewers Extraordinaire … ‘graduate course, bedtime, drink your wine, Nicky’ Thanks for all the chuckles!!

I haven’t had the pleasure of seeing Russell as Frankie yet, but you’ve certainly piqued my interest in “Uncharted” – especially the concept!

May 14th – definitely not 9 months away; time to get my ticket!!

My wife and I have had the pleasure of seeing Russell perform a couple of times over his four years with the show. In fact, the last time we saw Jersey Boys on Broadway (I just realized it’s been over a year ago; it may be time for my annual check-up), Russell was in the lead role of Frankie and did a wonderful job! He is also fantastic as Joey.

By the way, it was great seeing both you and Dale at Peter and the Starcatcher while on your New York visit, Susie. Hope we run into you again soon!!

Have known Russell for 10 years now. When I first met him I told him he would be on BROADWAY and he is. Seeing him in Jersey Boys (and he is a Jersey Boy) has been the highlight of my time here in the NY area. Great story, great production!

Rusell is very talented and adds so much vitality to any role I have seen him portray. I can only wish him the best in life because he is an actor, singer, son, friend and most of all Russell is Russell. I think his future is very, very bright. GREAT INTERVIEW and loved reading it.

What a great interview, guys! I look so forward to seeing and hearing Russell in “Uncharted” in a few weeks.

Pamela, I agree that it’s great to see the Tech Half with some great lines like the “graduate course”. Tech Half, I’m so happy you and the Blog Half finally decided to “do a full act with comedy and music”….now all you guys need are the “moves.”

Best part of the article, though, Russell, is your ordering from Edible Arrangements and supporting our JB fantastic fan and friend, Lulu Thompson, who owns and runs one of the most successful EA franchises in the country. If you had thought otherwise, “you’re not from Jersey.”

Great work, all.
